We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Pyramids and Sphinx with Yasmeen, and she made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we met her, she was bubbly, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. Her knowledge of Egyptian history was exceptional, but what made her stand out was how she brought everything to life with fascinating stories, insights, and genuine passion. Yasmeen has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable and engaged. She was so personable that it honestly felt like we had known her for years rather than just met her that day. She struck the perfect balance between being professional and informative while also being warm, fun, and approachable. If you’re visiting the Pyramids and Sphinx, we couldn’t recommend Yasmeen more highly. She turned what would have been an amazing sightseeing experience into a truly memorable and personal one. Thank you, Yasmeen, for such a fantastic day! ❤️🇪🇬

We were only in Egypt for two days! So we had a lot of eggs in one basket hoping for lifetime memories of Egypt, Cairo, Giza and the pyramids! It was a lot to ask but this tour really delivered, principally because of our tour guide Ibrahim and the friendliest driver in the world, Sameer. Ibrahim was incredible, his English was impeccable and he spoke eloquently about Egyptian history, politics, traditions and the idiosyncrasies of Cairo culture. He was funny, engaging, patient and great with our two girls. More than all of this he gave us an incredibly passionate and informed reading of the history of the pyramids - he seemed particularly well informed having studied Egyptology in Oxford. Ibrahim anchored the mysteries of the Pharaohs and their tombs in historical terms and painted in rich technicolour the awesome achievements and vision of the ancient Egyptians. Seriously he was brilliant. In addition to bringing us to a much clearer understanding of ancient Egypt - he was sensitive to our need as a young family to have some moments to ourselves to be daft and have fun and he took some great pictures. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Our driver who spoke little English was smiling and generous and drove considerately. The lunch was delicious with a front seat view of the pyramids. The camel ride was a blast too! We had a fantastic day and came away from Egypt with lasting memories of our brief moment in the mind-bending history of the Pyramids. P.S. We went in May which seems to be a good time - it was really quiet and manageable heat.

Yasmine was a great guide, photographer, and life advice giver. For my first time in Egypt, it couldn’t have gone any better for me. The pickup was smooth and before I knew it we got to the pyramids. The private tour gave me a more intimate understanding of Egyptian history. With her help I took tons of amazing pictures, she gave great ideas for poses. She was well connected with local staff and made things as smooth as possible. She even listened to my problems and gave me life advice. The price was worth it. And for 4 hours I saw a lot more than I thought I had thought
